With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an African Euproctis sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 82nd most-seen of the 123 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an African Euproctis in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–November, the lowest months.

Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the African Euproctis that you can see in Nairobi (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sundowner Moth (about 10%), Creamstriped Owl (about 10%) and Walker's Owl (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the African Euproctis is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
